<b>Description: DbEnv::rep_set_priority</b>
<p>The DbEnv::rep_set_priority method specifies the database environment's
priority in replication group elections.  A special value of
0 indicates that this environment cannot be a replication
group master.</p>
<p>The database environment's replication subsystem may also be configured using the
environment's <a href="../ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file.  The syntax of the entry in that
file is a single line with the string "rep_set_priority", one or more whitespace
characters, and the priority of this site.
For example, "rep_set_priority 1" sets the priority of this site to 1.
Because the <a href="../ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file is read when the database environment
is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that
time.</p>
<p>The DbEnv::rep_set_priority method configures a database environment, not only operations
performed using the specified <a href="../api_cxx/env_class.html">DbEnv</a> handle.</p>
<p>The DbEnv::rep_set_priority method may be called at any time during the life of the
application.</p>
<p>The DbEnv::rep_set_priority method
either returns a non-zero error value
or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>priority</b><ul compact><li>The priority of this database environment in the replication group.  The
priority must be a non-zero integer, or 0 if this environment cannot be
a replication group master.  (See <a href="../ref/rep/pri.html">Replication environment priorities</a> for more information).</ul>
<br>
<hr size=1 noshade>
<b>Description: DbEnv::rep_get_priority</b>
<p>The DbEnv::rep_get_priority method returns the database environment priority.</p>
<p>The DbEnv::rep_get_priority method may be called at any time during the life of the
application.</p>
<p>The DbEnv::rep_get_priority method
either returns a non-zero error value
or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>priorityp</b><ul compact><li>The DbEnv::rep_get_priority method returns  the
database environment priority in <b>priorityp</b>.</ul>
